2023 Nissan ARIYA Evolve+ 4dr SUV (electric DD)
7 of 8 people found this review helpful

I have 1,500miles on my Ariya Evolve + and really like it a lot. Its a very comfortable car with great range (typically 310+ miles) and great acceleration. The default driving mode is "Normal" but there is a "Sport" driving mode for fast acceleration. Its very stable cornering - flat actually - and I like the firmer ride. There is amazing clearance underneath as well as there is great visibility all around. The storage is average - but not bad. The seating is spacious including seat heaters, steering wheel heater, and very sensitive climate controls. The instruments (contrary to the buzz above) is simple and non obtrusive. No HUGE screens here - big enough -but out of the way - which I love. The Head Up Display is amazing - everything in front of you on the lower windshield - and the NAV on Head Up works well. All connections work including SiriusXM as well as the standard AM/FM. Independent media (like wireless Apple Carplay and Bluetooth) are great. Speakers sound really nice Everyone in my family loves the car and we all have driving experience with Tesla. Price wise - its mid point pricing. And it has a sunroof !!!

An overlooked gem

2023 Nissan ARIYA Platinum+ e-4ORCE 4dr SUV AWD (electric DD)
4 of 4 people found this review helpful

2023 Ariya Platinum+ AWD, Copper/Blue - Very quiet, well equipped, powerful, comfortable, and capable. The Ariya is a great size and drives very well in dry, wet, and snowy conditions. I find the exterior to be stunning and beautiful to look at day or night. The ride is very well balanced without being too soft or too stiff. I appreciate the features and technology that are integrated nicely and feel well thought out and not pieced together. The cabin layout and controls are easy to access. The interior feels and loos upscale to many of the competitors. While the max charging rate is below some of the competitors, it's adequate even during road trips. When traveling, I'm often charging at locations that offer food and amenities, so 30-40 mins works fine for me. At home charging is also not an issue since charging is done overnight while sleeping. Forward lighting at night is good although I would like to see corner lighting in future updates to provide additional lighting into the corners like driveways and dark intersections. Visibility from the driver's seat is also very good. The gear selector feels counter-intuitive (pull back to go forward and push forward to go back), but becomes habit over time. This vehicle seems to be overlooked by many EV shoppers which is a shame given the luxury-like feel and features offered in the Ariya. I highly recommend test driving and exploring this when shopping.

Very smooth ride

We got the base engage model as it was the only one available in stock and it's really nice! The drive is amazingly smooth. It does take some getting use to for the new type of stick shift and takes some time to explore all the features. I do wish the side mirrors were heated since it already has electric wires through it for the autoclose function. The phone slot in the center console is still there but doesn't do anything. It's originally for the wireless charging capability but the base model doesn't come with it. Storage is minimal. The center console is GIANT and it's cool that it moves but it does cut into the backseat leg room and I wonder what's in there? For such a huge console, there is zero storage in it. Maybe some coins when you open it.

Worth the Wait

2023 Nissan ARIYA Premiere 4dr SUV (electric DD)
14 of 19 people found this review helpful

Got my Premier edition in January 2023 and I can only say it was well worth the wait. I've had it for over a year and a half and I am still impressed! It is incredibly smooth, nimble and fun to drive. Nissan incorporated a lot of technology and it is easy to learn and use. Very roomy, quiet, comfortable and stylish inside. The two driving screens are easy to see, manipulate and manage without distracting from the drive. If you can get a model with ProPilot 2.0 it is well worth it. Took like 5 minutes to get the hang of and it drives the car hands free really well. At first I thought the back storage might be too small, but it fit everything I had in my larger previous SUV with room to spare. I have met a few other owners and we all share the same consensus - it is a great vehicle! PS: I don't know why Edmunds doesn't give this vehicle its due. I drove some of those which rank higher and in no way are they better EVs than Ariya.

Looks: I get stopped in parking lot all the time asking what my car is. Acceleration: l am stunned I haven’t gotten a ticket yet. Step on the gas and I am suddenly doing 90. Smooth ride: speaks for itself. Pure fun: Nells whistles and gadgets galore

Speedy, comfortable, quiet, elegant, understated. We have 2 with different trim levels. My Premiere is exactly that. The evolve is equally nice but a little less tech heavy. But for the difference in price, go up it only gets better and better!

Two core aspects of a car are very important to me. How the car drives and how it looks. The Ariya drives like a champ and has fantastic acceleration and great cornering and steering feel. The looks are impressive inside and out and seems like a luxury sporty vehicle. Charging little slow but no bother as I charge up at night. Plenty of room for stuff and has a really neat tray that when you push a button comes out the dash. Also, the car has what I call a safety shield and really gives you some super casters features. You will not be disappointed with this car as it is solid and sharp looking with plenty of neat features.

Not what you think....

Car looks great, initial drive is really nice. Dealer will tell you that you are going to get 240 miles per charge, time to charge the car (Level2 Charger) is between 8-10 hours...FALSE! After 2 months of owning the car - full charge is between 180-190 Miles. From full 0 to fill charge - 18 hours. Went to the dealer - they basically wash their hands. Bring it in for a service to see if they can help. They did what they can do but they dont know much as the electric car is new to them. They did the upgrades and still a challenge - Called Nissan Consumer affairs - waste of time. Now I need get a lawyer. Terrible!

Tires suck. Nissan will not honor Tire warranty.

2023 Nissan ARIYA Premiere 4dr SUV (electric DD)

I bought a Nissan Aryia in 2023. This was the Platinum version around 60 thousand dollars fully loaded. Front wheel drive. Very bad on snow as the weight is in the center of the car so no benefit traction wise. Less than a week after I purchased this vehicle low tire warnings started going off. I filled the tires to door panel instructions almost weekly, but they kept leaking. I took the car back to Nissan and told them what was happening. The service manager said it was the altitude which we are at 6800 feet msl here and the car was made at sea level, so he said that was what was causing it. I called BS on that as I had filled it many times at this elevation, and they still leaked. He said to fill them to 50 psi each which was not the manufactures recommendation and technically would have been voiding the warranty. Why a service adviser would tell you to violate the vehicle specks is beyond me, but he did. This went on to a tune of 3 service visits and finally I had a tire completely fail. This left me stranded as The Aryia has no spare tire, jack or lug wrench to replace it manually. The morning of my 7500 service which by the way is only a tire rotation and nothing else one of the back tires went completely flat. These were Dunlop tires that the salesman pointed out were under warranty. What the salesman failed to mention was that it was a manufacture warranty they would not honor. So, had the car towed into Nissan which took the Nissan connect people 5 hours and 7 phone calls to reach me. The first call they said 59 minutes for arrival. when they did not show up a 2nd call was made, and they said they were busy so changed the arrival time to 2 hours. @ hours came and went another phone call and after that call I got a text that said driver was on scene which he was not. Text 4, driver on scene but was not. Call 5 operator said he will be there shortly and a hang up. Call 5 was to report driver finally this time did arrive on scene. Driver had a hard time loading my car as he was not familiar with how to put it in neutral. Driver asked me to get in car and drive it up on the inclined truck. Once vehicle came to 20-degree incline on the truck Car sent email saying car was being towed away. So, in conclusion. The tires they put on their vehicles and sell along with the car to the customer and provide a warranty that they do not cover is worthless. They do not sell the car with a spare tire or a way to repair the tire if one should fail. This is a 60 K plus car that is sold with cheap defective tires with no warranty that they will cover but they brag that it has a tire warranty. So, the car has 4 failed to hold air tires that they will not prorate for replacement. This will be my last Nissan as I do not trust Nissan or their vehicles.

Do not recommend Engage AWD

I would love to give this more stars because it is fun to drive but there is a very important issue with the car. That max it ever charged was 190. Not the 204 advertised. Now it maxes at 180 ONLY if we dont use any accessories. Very expensive car for 160 miles per charge if you want to use anything (just the radio) in the car. I brought it in for service because it got as low as 120 (at 44 degrees). Nissan said there is nothing wrong with any of those numbers so I take that as what you should expect for this car. Also random, has no pop trunk button inside the car or automatic lift gate. Update: returned the Ariya and purchased the Ford Mach-e. Love it
